  • 13' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Ansu Fati makes it 1-1.
  • 18' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Memphis Depay suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Pablo Gavira.

  • 60' It is a substitution in Valencia CF team. Hugo Duro is replaced by Maranhao on 60 minute.
  • 63' Poor challenge from Dimitri Foulquier. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 68' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
